At the moment, as I type, I am quite disappointed in myself. It's early (7.22am) and I'm at work as I start on early shifts. My pass has been configured wrong and I couldn't get into my building or even the carpark and when I went to security about it, the guy was so flippant and couldn't care less and I got really angry very suddenly. I ended up walking out because I didn't want to fight with him but I was shaking when I got into my car. Then my anger got worse as all I could do was go and pay for parking across the road, which caused me to forfeit breakfast in order to start my shift on time.

I find it is getting caught off-guard by anger that is the worst. For me it is because I have been telling myself I am doing okay, haven't been angry for a long while. Then, suddenly, something crops up that I didn't expect, and I get angry again. I think the main thing is to remember that the anger is non-self and simply keep plugging away with practice and study again. Put it in the past. Also, when I feel good about myself, I think it is helpful to remind myself that this, too, is anicca. Puts the matter in perspective.
